Before the end of 2016, will Corus's deal to buy Shaw Media close?
Yes: 75%
(The deal ultimately reached must be substantially similar to the currently proposed deal. If the current deal is abandoned, this question will close as a "No")
Corus Entertainment has made an offer to buy Shaw Media (see articles here and here). The deal recently received approval from Corus shareholders, and CRTC approval is expected later this month. It seems quite likely that the deal will close before the end of the year, given the current pace of events. Having said that, Bell's previous purchase of Astral media, which was similar in scale, apparently had more than a year of regulatory delays.
